My thoughts: with all the items we have to distribute (navigators, laynards, leis, wrist bands), we really need the tables (and lack of wind) that the lounge offers. I think the lounge is much more condusive to handling a large group, as opposed to the narrow deck 10. We had a very large DIS meet there on the Nov '06 double dip and we had the whole lounge to ourselves (though we may have just frightened off other people). And, there are comfy chairs and a full bar with staff basically just serving us.
I do think we should rally on deck 10 after the drill for sailaway
